As far as I know, a DMCA takedown request needs to provide specific links to be removed (that presumably point to copyrighted content). They can't possibly demand the takedown of all links to groups, without regard for whether those links contain anything copyrighted, and if they themselves hold tha ...

This whole case stinks. MU staff refuses to answer who issued takedown request, and its content. It's either gag order (I doubt it, not many companies have enough power to buy courts to do that), or MU staff is too scared to do anything.

How can linking to the page of the scans group violating DMCA? Somebody please write an essay about itWhat's done is done, but this is just bullshit. Now more and more people will go to Mangafox or Online Readers to spare the hassle of google-ing for scans group's page.Nicely done.

So this is a question to the MODs...yes you too, lamb. Did you in any way reply back to mail you got? Like going: "That's totally cool that you come after us when we do not host anything and only provide information....kinda like piratebay but without any torrents or downloads. So we are less illegal than them. In return let me ask you: Do you go after mangareader, mangahere or mangafox who actually are earning money on having readers read on their online readers through ads? Mangafox is owned by someone called NOEZ in china, which is a company that later made counterfeitshop called Otakushop, three illegal online games: Pocket ninja, pocket pirate and some other new one which I don't remember? Probably not, you decided to let the criminals alone and go after us who are just giving people information. Please answer, and we will take the required step after giving a sensible answer on how you deal with the real criminals."So did you?

Anyway it's kinda cool. I'm not gonna make a twitter or facebook crap for my group...the users and the online readers can find it themselves. Kinda really tired of doing extra shit just cuz the leechers are too tired to do it like how we did it before mangaupdates and manganews and mangajouhou
